As you start to experiment with Cinch, we wanted to highlight a few helpful features that you may not be aware of yet.

Organize Your Cinches in Albums

An album is something you can create to organize all of your Cinches. When you create an album you can set it to be private or public. People can also choose to follow specific albums of yours, if they are public.

Here are a few examples of how you could use an album:

• Create a “Family” album that members of your family can follow and to stay up to date with your daily experiences.
• Create a private “Work” album were you capture the great ideas you have, things you need to get done and don’t want to forget, meeting notes and more.
• Create albums on specific areas of interest (music, art, sports) that make it easy for like-minded individuals to follow and feedback on the topics they are interested in.

Here is a short Cinch on how to set up an album.
